The Qt community is pleased to announce the release of Qt 6.11 Beta 1. This marks the beginning of the feature freeze and code branching for the upcoming Qt 6.11 release, set for March 2026. Developers and users can now download the beta version via the Qt Online Installer or as source packages.
This release introduces three significant new modules aimed at enhancing the development experience: the Canvas Painter for advanced rendering tasks, OpenAPI integration for seamless interfacing with APIs, and TaskTree for improved task management workflows. These additions are expected to broaden the functional scope of Qt applications and provide developers with robust tools for creating sophisticated user interfaces and backend logic.
As with previous releases, users are encouraged to engage with this beta version by testing it extensively. Feedback is invaluable to the Qt development team, and issues should be reported through the JIRA platform to ensure a smooth and stable final release. Although the documentation is still being updated to reflect these new changes, a “What’s new” guide is available to help users familiarize themselves with the enhancements and incorporate them into their projects.
